I Can Die a Happy Man

Is "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell" (703) the greatest MST3K episode ever?

Yes.

True, Joel has long since exited, but Trace Beaulieu was still on; however, that much is unimportant. Its glory derives from the references contained therein. There are riffs on Saruman and Radagast, Shane MacGowan and the Popes, and "Safety Dance."

I'm pretty sure that's an unbeatable combination.

Oh yeah, and the movie itself was gloriously bad.

He Said What?

Well, I can't link to it directly, but if you direct your mouse here and then go to the bottom left and click on the TV spot entitle "Morning Ritual :60," you'll be able to see Cadillac's use of The Pogues' "The Sunny Side of the Street." I'm not quite sure the commercial works, but I am quite sure that this is the first time the lyrics "a lust for vomit" were unleashed before the unsuspecting network masses. Good thing Shane slurs his words.

Full lyrics in commercial:

Seen a carnival in Rome.
Had the women, I had the booze.
All I can remember now
is little kids without no shoes.
So I saw a train and I got on it
With a heart full of hate
And a lust for vomit.

Now I'm walking on the sunny side of the street,
The sunny side of the street,
The sunny side of the street,
The sunny side of the street.

Don't those just scream happy yuppie family life?

So Much for Anonymity

We've been IDed! Every man for himself!

Yes, I guess it's time to come clean about our identies since my partner in crime has chosen to reveal himself due to his excessive pride in being able to make national news. As a deceased mythical boxer I feel quite honored to be blogging with Tom Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee; however, I'd be even more impressed if he could manage to link to the right page.
